<p>
There are some additional restrictions beyond those specified in the
DTD, e.g. every toolitem must have a toolbar in its anchestry and
every menuitem must have a menubar or popup in its anchestry. Since
a <span class="type">GMarkup</span> parser is used to parse the UI description, it must not only
be valid XML, but valid <span class="type">GMarkup</span>.
</p>
<p>
If a name is not specified, it defaults to the action. If an action is
not specified either, the element name is used. The name and action
attributes must not contain '/' characters after parsing (since that
would mess up path lookup) and must be usable as XML attributes when
enclosed in doublequotes, thus they must not '"' characters or references
to the &amp;quot; entity.

<a name="UI-Merging"></a><h3>UI Merging</h3>
<p>
The most remarkable feature of <a class="link" href="GtkUIManager.html" title="GtkUIManager"><span class="type">GtkUIManager</span></a> is that it can overlay a set
of menuitems and toolitems over another one, and demerge them later.
</p>
<p>
Merging is done based on the names of the XML elements. Each element is
identified by a path which consists of the names of its anchestors, separated
by slashes. For example, the menuitem named "Left" in the example above
has the path <code class="literal">/ui/menubar/JustifyMenu/Left</code> and the
toolitem with the same name has path
<code class="literal">/ui/toolbar1/JustifyToolItems/Left</code>.
</p>
</div>
<hr>
<div class="refsect2">
<a name="id1041033"></a><h3>Accelerators</h3>
<p>
Every action has an accelerator path. Accelerators are installed together with
menuitem proxies, but they can also be explicitly added with &lt;accelerator&gt;
elements in the UI definition. This makes it possible to have accelerators for
actions even if they have no visible proxies.
</p>
</div>
<hr>
<div class="refsect2">
<a name="Smart-Separators"></a><h3>Smart Separators</h3>
<p>
The separators created by <a class="link" href="GtkUIManager.html" title="GtkUIManager"><span class="type">GtkUIManager</span></a> are "smart", i.e. they do not show up
in the UI unless they end up between two visible menu or tool items. Separators
which are located at the very beginning or end of the menu or toolbar
containing them, or multiple separators next to each other, are hidden. This
is a useful feature, since the merging of UI elements from multiple sources
can make it hard or impossible to determine in advance whether a separator
will end up in such an unfortunate position.
</p>
<p>
For separators in toolbars, you can set <code class="literal">expand="true"</code> to
turn them from a small, visible separator to an expanding, invisible one.
Toolitems following an expanding separator are effectively right-aligned.
</p>
</div>
<hr>
<div class="refsect2">
<a name="id1041083"></a><h3>Empty Menus</h3>
<p>
Submenus pose similar problems to separators inconnection with merging. It is
impossible to know in advance whether they will end up empty after merging.
<a class="link" href="GtkUIManager.html" title="GtkUIManager"><span class="type">GtkUIManager</span></a> offers two ways to treat empty submenus:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc">
<li class="listitem"><p>make them disappear by hiding the menu item they're attached to
</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>add an insensitive "Empty" item
</p></li>
</ul></div>
<p>
The behaviour is chosen based on the "hide_if_empty" property of the action
to which the submenu is associated.

<a name="GtkUIManager-BUILDER-UI"></a><h3>GtkUIManager as GtkBuildable</h3>
<p>
The GtkUIManager implementation of the GtkBuildable interface accepts
GtkActionGroup objects as &lt;child&gt; elements in UI definitions.
</p>
<p>
A GtkUIManager UI definition as described above can be embedded in
an GtkUIManager &lt;object&gt; element in a GtkBuilder UI definition.
</p>
<p>
The widgets that are constructed by a GtkUIManager can be embedded in
other parts of the constructed user interface with the help of the
"constructor" attribute. See the example below.

<p>
Looks up a widget by following a path. 
The path consists of the names specified in the XML description of the UI. 
separated by '/'. Elements which don't have a name or action attribute in 
the XML (e.g. &lt;popup&gt;) can be addressed by their XML element name 
(e.g. "popup"). The root element ("/ui") can be omitted in the path.
</p>
<p>
Note that the widget found by following a path that ends in a &lt;menu&gt;
element is the menuitem to which the menu is attached, not the menu itself.
</p>
<p>
Also note that the widgets constructed by a ui manager are not tied to 
the lifecycle of the ui manager. If you add the widgets returned by this 
function to some container or explicitly ref them, they will survive the
destruction of the ui manager.
